You know, the marketing material is all in Korean and I'm only an intermediate speaker/reader so I can't be sure if they were claiming it was the salt that provided all of these benefits... but it sure did seem like it. They specifically called out that they were using salt high in magnesium content which seems to be corroborated by this Dead Sea salt study you just sent me. Thank you for that by the way. Love the blog, love the podcast.

No problem. I think this has been around in the Middle East for a little while... I've seen some Dead Sea salt products in the past but the product I was referring to comes from South Korea where sea salt has become an emerging skincare trend this year.
